Stories literally shape our decisions. Stories define how we make sense of our lives and the world around us. For generations, comics have dominated the imaginations of children all around the world with the sagas of the most beloved characters ever created. And now motion comics are enriching this medium by narrating the story of these characters in a whole new way.

In contrast with traditional typewritten storybooks, comics are far more versatile in terms of storytelling, as they use not only images or illustrations but also speech balloons, captions, and onomatopoeia to indicate dialogue, narration, sound effects, or other information. Motion comics and modern technology have taken the traditional comic experience to the next level by combining print comic books with sound effects, voice acting, and animation.

This research project takes a look into the world of motion comics today and different methods for creating interactive motion comics for various platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows. Furthermore, this report briefly covers one specialised software tool, Smith Micro's Motion Artist, and one online tool, 'Narr8: Storybuilder, for creating motion comics for emerging artists.
